The Environment and Sustainability Program is an interdisciplinary program established in 1995 (formerly as the School of the Environment) to focus on environmental issues fundamental to all humans. By following a track of courses in diverse colleges, the student has an opportunity to become knowledgeable in environmental issues at the scientific, social, economic, and political levels. The program consists of affiliated faculty in departments, centers, and institutes including business, economics, engineering, law, liberal arts, medicine, public health, science and mathematics.
Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science
The Environmental Science major is designed to give students a strong scientific background while allowing them the flexibility to choose courses that address their specific interests.
Admission, Progression and Transfer Standards
1. Students may apply for admission to the environmental sciences major upon completion of a minimum of 24 credit hours from the University or from an accredited college or university, and with a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.80 on a 4.00 scale.
2. Environmental Science majors may enroll in an environmental science course a maximum of twice to earn the required grade of C or higher. For the purposes of this standard of progression, withdrawal with a W does not constitute enrollment.
3. Any student applying for transfer to the environmental sciences major from other programs within the University, or from accredited colleges and universities, is required to have a minimum grade point average of 2.80 on a 4.00 scale and a minimum of 24 credit hours.
Special Opportunities
The major endorses the use of independent study courses to further students’ intellectual pursuits in alternative ways. Before students may register for an independent study course, they must submit a completed independent study contract which has been approved by the major advisor and the Director of Undergraduate Studies. (No student may apply more than 6 hours of independent study credits toward the degree). A grade-point average of 2.75 or greater is required to enroll in independent study courses.
Minor in Environmental Studies
A student may pursue a minor in environmental studies with the academic advisor’s approval. The student must declare the selection of the minor in the office of the student’s major academic dean.
The following Environment and Sustainability Program faculty have appointments in other departments and are listed below by these affiliations.
